Hello,
Sharp pain behind the ear has many reasons like mastoiditis, occipital neuralgia or comes as a result of teeth damages. I suggest to use Ibuprofen, rest, massage neck muscles, reduce stress. If you don't feel better take an appointment with ENT.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
